I guess even selfless acts have selfish roots.

Right cause the selfless act is a myth.  If it feels good do it but don't fool yourself that you are doing it for anyone but yourself.  It's all equal in the big picture. The Tao does not care.

I wrote this a few years ago the night I decided to major in physics..

As I embark on the exploration of this ever evolving puzzle, I feel both apprehensive and compelled to take part in such a foolish journey..


To me, it's the only way to live. Anything less would leave me empty inside, always wondering what I could have been.

I guess even selfless acts have selfish roots..

I'd ask for a little wisdom with my intelligence.  Not many ever seem to have much of the wisdom and common sense. Emotions rule in those areas.  But just shutting up and building a better bomb seems like no problem.

Funny that this thread has mostly been talking about people and their relation to each other.  Guess we're small minds, after all.

Even the "great" men when their personal lives become known are mostly petty little :monkeydance:

I think everyone gossips (including me). Some people do it out of boredom or hate and some people do it for other reasons. I'm guessing it's because it's a hard thing to avoid in a society based on competition. "Seeing faults" in others can be a "one up" in that area for the observer. IMO the gossip that sucks the most is the one that is assumptive and/or hateful. A hateful gossip is one that is meant to hurt someone.On the other hand an assumptive one is when we believe that something is true, because it seems to fit in with the rest of the "story". Sometimes we don't question ourselves about other possibilities and stick to what we want to be true. Then we spread these "truths" around as if we have proof. That's what I would call small mindedness. A mind state where we are not able to "see" that what we are thinking might not be true. There's a possibility I'm being small minded right now :mad: and I doubt I'm going to notice it. I bet someone else will though :grin:.

I don't think gossip has a cause and effect relationship with intelligence or wisdom, although I would expect it to happen less with wise people. Giving someone constructive criticism instead of talking behind their back is always a wiser alternative to gossip in my book. It's probably more unlikely to happen though :frown:.
